    I would say just don’t break any laws then, but laws can change and people are terrible.

    Edit: Pretty sure you’re all downvoting a misunderstanding.

    I’m saying I get why it’s a thing because people would convict their opponents. Not that I was actually saying well don’t break any laws.

      Sure, but a corrupt government can fabricate evidence to keep their enemies silenced.

      Look at Russia and their treatment of Alexei Navalny.

            Might be a reasonable argument if you didn’t have 76 years of his rotten behavior as precedent in processing the decision made by a jury of his peers…

      just don’t break any laws then

      A very naïve idea :-(

        Especially when you get into archaic laws that aren’t enforced or widely known.
